The High School building which was erected in 19o8fis a substantial modern structure of brick and stone consisting of two stories, and an eight foot basement, well lighted, ventilated and heated by steam. On the first fioor are the museum, library, cloak-rooms and assembly hall. In the basement are the heating plant, physical science laboratory and manual training shop. The second floor is occupied by the biological laboratory and three large recitation rooms. THE LIBRARY. This room is to be made the most attractive one in the build- ing. The Board oflEducation has made a very generous approp- riation for library purposes for the coming year, and an abundant supply of new books and furnishings will be secured. A librarian will always be in charge to aid in the use of material and the courses of study will be so arranged that every pupil must go to the library for reference books and collateral reading. In addition, a number of standard magazines and periodicals will be kept on the reading table. ' LABORATORIES. y Generous appropriations have been made for the improve- ment of the physical science laboratory and the biological lab- oratory. The experimental work is put almost entirely into the hands of the students, and is laid out in accordance with the require- ments set forth in the High School Manual of the University of Illinois. 5 THE MUSEUM. The splendid collection of entomological specimens pre- pared for the High School by Mr. Thos. Keyworth is a good nucleus around which to build a museum. The northwest room has been set aside for this purpose. This department can be made of great value to the cause of study if pupils, patrons and alumni will aid in gathering material. , In consideration of the many favors shown to the High School by Mr. Keyworth, it has been decided to call the museum the Kevworth Museum. ' ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. The completion of the course of study for the eight grades as shown in the Illinois State Course of study or its equivalent is our requirement for admission, to be ascertained CID by exam- ination in the common branchesg CQD by diploma from the Marissa graded schools, or other graded schools doing an equivalent grade of workg C3D by a certificate from the county superintendent of schools showing the completion of the eighth grade in a rural or village school of the stateg C45 by certificate from an accredited high school, provided that such credit shall not be allowed until the pupil has completed one semester's work in this high school. TUITION. All pupils whose parents or guardians are not residents of Marissa School Township will be required to pay a tuition of two dollars a month. This tuition must be paid to the principal for three months in advance, but will be refunded proportionately for any loss of one week or more because of sickness or any other unavoidable reason. 6 L 4 PROMOTION AND, GRADUATION. V One credit is allowed for one full year's work in any branch, but part credit will not be allowed for less than one semester's work. Seventy per cent is a passing grade. A pupil who has four credits is a Sophomoreg one who has eight credits is a junior, one with twelve credits is a Seniorg one with seventeen credits is recommended for graduation provided those promoted are not behind in any required study and are in good standing at the time of promotion. The seventeen credits required for graduation must be divided as follows: English, 4 creditsg Mathematics, 2 I-2 credits, Physical Science, I credit, the remaining to I-2 credits being made up from the elective studies ofthe course. UNIVERSITY CREDIT. The Marissa Township High School is on the accredited list of the University of Illinois and its graduates may enter the Fresh- man class there without examination or conditions. Similar arrangements may be made with other higher institutions of learn- ing and the graduates may enter the junior class of any of the state normal schools, and hnish in two years. r GOOD STANDING. i Our standard of conduct for pupils is that which good society expects of every lady and gentleman. A due regard for the per-A sonal and property rights of other pupils and of the school will be insisted upon as the only basis upon which one may become or remain a member of the school, and any failure to observe this requirement will forfeit the pupil's standing. A pupil who has been absent from a class will not be admitted to the class again until such absence has been excused by the par- ent or guardian, and such excuse accepted by the principal. 7 Tardiness must be similiarly excused before the beginning of the next session. No pupil is in good standing unless he is up to the minimum grade in three regular studies for the year, and has an average grade of not less than 70 per cent in deportment. No pupil shall be admitted to participation in any class or school game, contest or special exercise, in any special privilege accorded to the members of his class or the school, who shall not at the time of such participation be in good standing according to the above requirements. I REPORTS. H Monthly reports ofthe attendance, deportment and class Work will be mailed to parents and guardians. These are not to be signed or returned but should you fail to receive one each month please notify the principal and a duplicate will be sent. The grades will be marked in plain figures 'on a scale of 100, and a grade of 70 is required for passing in deportment or any study. UAILY SESSIONS.

I2 Not Selected Not Selected Not Selected AHO.LVHOEV'l 3H.L NI SSV'IO ANVLOE DESCRIPTION OF COURSE. iDepartment of Mathematics. The work of this department has at least five very important aims in view: 1. To give an understanding of the processes and forms of expression in the several subjects. V 2. To secure exactness and speed in the operations. 3. To train the pupil's perception of features of prime importance, his ability to exercise individual judgment and reason- ing, and his power to select logical steps in a demonstration. 4. To show the value of each subject in its relation to prac- tical or business life. 5. To make the pupil a self-reliant factor in life. To accomplish these purposes, three divisions of mathemat- ical science are used: Book-keeping, Algebra and Geometry. Algebra. The adopted text is Algebra for Secondary Schools by Wells. The work required, in Algebra is through quadratic 'equa- tions. Thus far, the students have spent two years C4 semestersj in this work, and received credit for A, B, C and D algebra. The classes are urged to complete the work in three semesters and those able to do so receive credit for all work done. It is the plan of the school to limit thework through quad! ratics to three semesters as soon as the proper advancement in the standard is made. Geometry. Second year, entire year. Text: Sanders Plane Geometry. The pupil is expected to have completed the work in mathematics offered during the first year before entering this class. 13 During the first semester the first two books of the text are completed, and the text is finished during the second half of the year. In geometry, the process of reasoning is emphasized. The demonstration is made not so much for the HQ. E. D. as for exercise of imagination, individual thinking, for discipline in ana-lysis, and formal statements of steps by which the conclusions are reached. If time permits and there is a demand a class in solid geom- etry will be organized. This will be elective, but the work in plane geometry is required of all students for graduation. Physical Science. Fourth year. Text: Hoadley's Elements of Physics. In order to enter this class the pupil must have completed the work offered in mathematics during the first three years or be eligible to the senior class as to the required number of credits. This class meets every school day for two periods per day. The fundamental principles of Physics are demonstrated both by class and by individual experiments. Students construct a number of pieces of apparatus with which they perform experiments. Much emphasis is put on mathematical demonstrations and problems. The class covers the entire subject so as to do the Work required for entrance at the State University. V The laboratory will be well equipped with apparatus for next year. g Civics. First semester of third year. Text: Advanced Civics, by Forman. The work. is offered early in the course so as to give those who do not complete the course a general knowledge of the organization 14 of national, state and municipal government. Attention will be given to the duty of the citizen in this political organization. This course is preparatory to American History. Notebooks with supplementary work will be kept and histor- ical references relating to governmental affairs will be written in these. Current events will be reported on and important happen- ings relating to our country studied. The Civics of Illinois will be reviewed also in this term's work. Commercial Geography. Second semester of first year. Text: Gannett, Garrison and Houston. T This course follows the high school physiograhy and is intended to follow up the physical setting there given, with a care- ful discussion of human industries, thus giving the pupils a more extended .outlook of the relation between their physical environ- ment and man's industries. A general knowledge of common school geography and physical geography is presupposed. This text work is supplemented by note book work in which interesting and important facts about commercial products and countries are recorded. Samples of wheat, corn and its products, silk, hemp, cocoa and petroleum are studied. ENGLISH. The ability to use and fully understand them' English language is the prime requisite in the education of any American boy or girl. ' The aim of a high school course in English should be to build upon the pupil's training in reading, writing, spelling, com- position and grammar, which he has received in the grades, a course in composition, rhetoric and literature. A thorough review in grammar will be taken in the first year's work. . I 5 h First Year. During the first semester three days of each week will be spent in the study of Buehler's Modern Grammar, the greater part of the time being placed on syntax. Scott and Denney's Elementary Composition will be studied two days each week during the entire year. ln the second semester the study of classics will be taken up with careful perusal and discussion of these, also the authors' biographies. The following classics will be studied: Vision of Sir Launfal, The Ancient Mariner, Sohrab and Rusturn, Merchant of Venice, Snowbound and Irving's Sketch Book. The class will be required to read three books outside of the class and report on these. A list will be furnished by the teacher, any three of which may be chosen. Second Year. The study of English Composition will be continued during the first semester of the second year. The following classics will be read in class: Julius Caesar, Ivanhoe, Idylls of the King, Pope's Iliad, Vicar of Wakefield and Silas Marner. Six book reviews must be given either in written form or orally, according to the dictation of the teacher. Vocal Expres- sion will be studied one day each week. This includes memory work from classics, principles of elocution, oral reading, impromptu speeches, debating and some oratorical work. This work has become very instructive and beneficial to the members of the Sophomore Class and the results of this training have been very apparent in the Work of the literary society. Third Year. Composition and Rhetoric as presented in Brooks and Hub- bard text. ' Cab Review of grammatical principles. tbl Writing of themes. 16 Ol.-606l :IO WV3.L 1'lVE EISVE 3H.L CCD Forms of discourse, narration, description, exposition, argument. During this year's work an oration must be written and deliv- ered, a theme of 800 words written and read in class, and a debate outlined and given in class. Fourth Year. This year's work will be based on the study of English Liter- ature as presented by Halleck, and American Literature by Bran- der Mathews. Special study will be made of the classics required for college entrance. Six books from this list must be handed in as written reviews. Quotations from the most noted authors will be learned and recited in class. Poems and prose writing from the favorite authors will be studied and reported on in class. The class selects an author and makes a notebook in which they place quotations from this author and pictures as illustrations of the Writings. Longfellow note-books were made last year. PHYSIOGRAPHY. First year, first semester. Text: Hopkin's Physical Geogra- phy. ln connection with the text work, a regular laboratory note- book is used in which all notes and drawings are kept. The note-book work consists in part of: CID Daily weather observations. C25 Interpretation and construction of weather maps. Cgl Studies of important topographical-features as shown in the topographical sheets of the U. S. Geological Survey. C45 Graphs of all sorts, including daily, weekly, monthly and yearly heat and pressure curves. The school possesses a number of pieces of' apparatus which are used in this class. 17 . PHYSIOLOGY. In addition to the text used, particular emphasis will be laid on correct habits of living, the proper foods, prevention of disease and the effects of alcohol and narcotics. Eddy's Advanced Physiology is the text used. I HISTORY. English History will be offered in the third year course and this study is very necessary as it is but the early history of our own institutions. Wrorig is the text used. AMERICAN HISTORY. Hart's Essentials is the text used in this study. It is a com- prehensive treatise of the important events in the history of our own country and in connection with this the four volumes of Hart's Contemporaries will be studied and reported on. This will he offered in the fourth year and is one of the most important studies in the school. Note-book work in connection with this study will be required. In connection with the text book the Newton and Treat Out- line Books will be used as review work. The review of Illinois History will be taken up also. i 'ANCIENT H1s'roRY. West's Ancient VVorld is the text used in the second year. Special attention is paid to the history of ancient nations and the effects of their civilization on modern history. The work will be supplemented by the use of the Ivanhoe note-books. DRAWING. First year, entire year. Text: Prang's Art Education for High Schools. 18 Six phases of the subject will ibe taken up this year and studied as thoroughly as the time will allow. They are as follows: CID Charcoal and pencil sketches, both landscapes and still life. p C25 VVater color work. 3 Lettering. 4 Mechanical Drawing. 5 Architectural Drawing. 6 Design. LATIN. fSubjeet to Revisionj I ' A four year course in Latin is offered which fits the student for entrance into Latin classes of any college or university. Before deciding not to take Latin you should read what is said on a previous page and consult those who have enough knowledge of the subject to advise you. Latin I.-Potter's Elementary Latin Course is made the basis of this year's work. Constant attention is called to the English derivatives. If this year's work is well done the rest of the Latin course can be successfully followed. Latin II.--Greenough, Daniell and D'Ooge's Second Year Latin is studied with constant reference to Bennett's Latin Grammar. The first three months are taken up with the reading of fables, Roman History and Latin composition. The 'last five months are taken up with the reading of Ca,esar's Gallic War, particular attention being paid to direct and indirect discourse- Latin HI.--Six selections from Cicero are read this year, supplemented by Latin composition based on the text. Particular attention is paid to Latin syntax. Latin IV.-Six books of Virgil's ZEnid are read, attention being paid to scansion, mythology and history. p I9 GERMAN. German is elective in the third and fourth years. The aim is to give the student such practice in reading and translating as will enable him to understand and enjoy the masterpieces of German literature. Special emphasis is laid upon idiomatic English in translation. Bacon's German Grammar is the text for the Hrst year. During the second year Storm's Immensee, Hillern's Hoher als die Kirche, Heyse's L. Arrabiata, Germelshausen and other classics are the texts. The work consists of translation and prose composition. BOTANY. What has been said in general about the course in Zoology applies also to the work in botany. The text book used is Coul- ter's UPlant Studies and careful attention is paid to ecology, morphology and physiology. Careful studies in analysis and classiiication are given and the pupil keeps neat notes and draw- ings of all observations. ZOOLOGY. This work occupies two periods per day. The course is given as found in Linville and Kelly's text. About fifteen animal forms are studied and written up inthe laboratory work, the main empha- sis being placed on the living characteristics. It is a definite aim in this work to relate it whenever possible to the subject of agri- culture. Field excursions are frequently made in which the pupils gather information at first hand. BOOK-KEEPING. A knowledge of book-keeping is essential to a great proportion of business positions and in order that our graduates may be able to meet this demand it has been decided to add a thorough course 20 lAIV3.L NIOVELL in accounting. The work will be open only to those who have shown by their proficiency in mathematics and penmanship that they are able to carry a standard course with high credits. The work will be in charge of a teacher who is a graduate of a business college and those who finish the Work will be thoroughly prepared in this subject. I MANUAL TRAINING. V A thorough course in woodworking is to be added to the cur- riculum. A well equipped wood shop with benches, and tools of the most approved design will be installed in the southwest room of the basement story. This work will be offered in the Freshman year. AGRICULTURE. A A course in agriculture is due the patrons of every township high school. This is not the place to make a plea for scientific agriculture nor is it necessary to argue a proposition to which all are agreed. Our Annual Corn Day Program has done much to encourage a proper attitude toward the science which is the first of all sciences and the art which is the base of all arts. A one-year course will be offered as found in Warren's text book. The work will occupy two periods per day, one of which will be devoted to recitation on lessons assigned in the text book and the other to laboratory work and excursions. LITERARY ExERc1sEs. A The ability to appear before an audience or company and to give a clear and correct expression of one's thoughts is an art that should be coveted by every high school student. A literary society is conducted by the students of the high school and it is a requirement that each pupil shall take part four QI times during the year. Some credit in school work is given as a token of merit to the pupil performing creditably in rhetoricals. A ATHLETIC and ORATORICAL CONTESTS. For the last nine years the high school has been a member of the St. Clair High School Association which conducts yearly con- tests in oratory and athletics. It is the policy of the school to continue to take part in such contests and to organize a reasonable number of athletic teams. During the past year teams were organized for baseball, soccer football and track athletics. ANNUAL CORN DAY Nov. lst., 1911. lt is planned to celebrate this day on a larger scale than ever this year. The value of the day can not be estimated. County Superintendent Hough has already promised to be present and in addition either State Superintendent Blair or a lecturer on agricul- ture may be secured for the program. Pupils should keep in mind that corn to be exhibited this year must be grown by the pupil himself. , . Corn Day program as given last year in Assembly hall, November 4, 1910: Program.

A gold medal will be offered for the best exhibit of corn and a silver medal for the second best exhibit. Corn must be exhib- ited in conformance with the following rules: I. Corn must be exhibited by a pupil of the Marissa Town- ship High School. 2. Exhibits must consist of one peck of the same variety. 3. No person may offer more than two exhibits. 4. Corn exhibited must have been produced this year by the person exhibiting it. The pupils, teachers and board of education of the high school unite in extending a most cordial invitation to the friends and patrons of Agriculture and Education to join them in making this occasion both pleasant and profitable.

A course of lectures and entertainments of the usual high standard has been contracted for with the Redpath-Slayton Bureau, and over ai hundred satisfied patrons have pledged tickets in advance. The purpose in conducting such a course is that a series of purposeful instructive entertainments may be provided which we think adds not a little to the value of the pupil's school experience. To this end, the High School manages the course gratis, every cent collected being used for expenses. A larger attendance will mean a stronger course. The course for 1911-12 is as follows: U Stroller's Male Quartette. Reno-Magician. , john B. Ratto-Character Artist. Damron-The Potter Craftsman.
